SJP's Real-Life Looks Are Better Than Her Sex and the City Outfits

Recently I wrote a story about all of the 2019 trends Carrie Bradshaw put on the map inSex and the City. And there were a lot of them—everything from Dior saddle bags to PVC shoes to square necklines. My research ended up taking me on a digital deep dive into all things Sarah Jessica Parker, which made me realize just how great the actress’spersonalstyle is as well.

SJP will probably always be associated with herSATCcharacter, buther off-screen style deserves just as much attention. I especially gravitate towards her '90s and early '00s looks: It was a time of tube tops, strapless necklines, and easy separates. Her great styling ideas are pushing me to try some of them again for myself in 2019. Ahead, see some of Sarah Jessica Parker's best style moments and shop pieces inspired by her looks.

This SJP look reminds me the most of aSATCoutfit—think Carrie's pink tutu look from the opening credits.

Tube tops were huge in the 2000s, and they're making a return in a big way. It's been a while since I broke one out, but Parker's outfits are pushing me to try them again.

Available in sizes XXS to XL.

Again With the Tube Top…

Again, I think I need to give the tube top another chance. Wearing one with coordinating pants for a monochrome look seems pretty foolproof.

Available in sizes XS to XL.
